Co- Founder AI Potential
I've had the great privilege of working with Fiona Anderson at key points in my entrepreneurial journey – from early-stage ideation to the complexities of fundraising.
Fiona has an incredible ability to get to the heart of a business and guide its founder toward sustainable growth. She balances compassion with clarity, breaking down complex challenges and demystifying business jargon. Her unwavering support and belief in me as a founder have been invaluable.
She’s also a natural connector, with a strong network of trusted professionals, and always knows who to bring into the conversation to move things forward.
Working with Fiona has strengthened both my business and my confidence as an entrepreneur.
I once tried to build an "Fiona Anderson AI Coach", but it's nowhere near as good as the real thing.
